F16 jet mistakenly shoots up control tower with officers inside . . .
The
Norwegian Air Force has been left feeling awkward after one of its F-16 jets on
a drill mistakenly opened fire on a control tower with three officers who were
inside at the time of the mock attack.

investigation has been started into the grave error, which took place on Tarva,
off Norway’s west coast, AFP was told by military spokesman Captain Brynjar
Stordal. Astonishingly, no one was injured in the incident.

Menurut
VG kertas Norway, tiga pegawai berada di dalam struktur pada masa itu. Mereka
berkata segala-galanya berlaku dengan pantas terdapat hampir tidak masa untuk
memahami apa yang berlaku. pengurus komunikasi Tentera Udara Stian Roen berkata
ia adalah panggilan yang sangat rapat, sambil menambah bahawa kedua-dua
anak-anak kapal menara kawalan dan juruterbang sedang menjalani ujian.
Luar
biasa sekali, menara kawalan yang sama pada Tarva ditembak pada 2009, juga
dengan tidak sengaja. Ketika itu sekurang-kurangnya satu pusingan menembusi
bangunan.
According
to Norwegian paper VG, three officers were inside the structure at the time.
They said everything happened so fast there was barely time to understand what
was going on. Air Force communications manager Stian Roen said it was a very
close call, adding that both the control tower crew and pilot are currently
undergoing tests.
Remarkably,
the very same control tower on Tarva was shot up in 2009, also by mistake. Back
then at least one round penetrated the building.
